Maybe this would actually motivate me to do some exercise.
Combat Comment Spam
May 16, 2012 By
Are you overwhelmed by comment spam on your blog that is powered by WordPress? Are you sick of checking your spam comments for legitimate spam?
I know that I was, and so I have taken a big step and opted to stop receiving comments directly on my blog posts.
As a blog owner that hasn’t reached a status similar to the likes to Darren Rowse, Michael Hyatt or John Saddington and have hundreds of legitimate comments on each blog post. I am certain that these bloggers certainly face thousands of spam comments as well since their comments are open for all people to comment.
With their large following, they have decided to create a team of people to be Community Leaders around them that can help with the moderation of comments and the general day-to-day running of the blog. Unfortunately I don’t have a community around me, and can’t employ someone to manage my incoming comments here on Itsonlybarney.com, so I have decided to read comments left for me using my contact form, or you can join the discussion on social media where I post links back to the article.
What are you doing to combat comment spam? Does it work for you?
Moved Home
May 11, 2012 By
If you are seeing this blog post, it means that the server and domain migration has succeeded.
I have moved Itsonlybarney.com to a VPS from VPS Unlimited. So far stability hasn’t been an issue, and at the moment it looks to be performing well.
Please email me if you see a problem.

Psalm 3
Even in times of trouble and pain, when we are beaten by the world and by Satan, God is there with us. He will shield us, and hold us high as we do his work. When we cry out to God, he listens and answers us, sometimes not in the way we hope he answers.
Acts 2: 1-21
The speaking in tongues is actually the fulfilling of prophesy from Joel. Peter then goes on to share the Gospel of Jesus with the crowd (approximately 3000 people) that are around the Apostles.
Matthew 2:1-12
Even when Jesus was a baby, people of the world were worried that Jesus would conquer the world. Herod in particular thought that it would a physical/war type conquering even though God had intended it to be otherwise.
Genesis 5-8
God saw that the world was heading in a direction that he didn’t want the world to go, and so he selected Noah and his family to build an ark to house the animals and his family from the flood that God was sending to the earth. Noah did as he was commanded by God.
My Twitter Rant
May 8, 2012 By
Part of my series of Tweets to @edhusicMP, my local federal member.
We have a gov wanting a budget surplus when we have just recorded negligible GDP growth. With a Fed Gov spending $200 million on feasibility studies that will probably never receive further funding from the Fed gov because the NSW gov doesn’t have the money to actually do a proper study. We have a Fed gov that could fix up the share of GST coming to NSW but hasn’t and then wonder why the economy of NSW is stagnating considering we put in a bigger share of the GST revenue. I’m sorry Ed, but I can’t see myself voting for a government who whinged in the past about the Liberals, but can’t/won’t correct the wrongs that were whinged about when (Labor were) in opposition.
